1. Previously on The West Wing:Copy !req
2. Your father used to hit you,
didn't he, Mr. President?Copy !req
3. - Your father used to hit you, sir?
- Yeah.Copy !req
4. - Not like a spanking?
- He hit me. Why?Copy !req
5. - He punched you.
- It was a complicated relationship.Copy !req
6. - Because you were smarter than he was.
- You have stepped way over the line.Copy !req
7. - Stanley.
- Josh.Copy !req
8. - Your flight was all right?
- It was fine.Copy !req
9. - How are you?
- Me? I'm fine.Copy !req
10. - These are your things?
- Yeah.Copy !req
11. I'll put them in my office.Copy !req
12. - Should I go with you?
- I'll be right back.Copy !req
13. They'll be all right back there.Copy !req
14. - Where to?
- Ever seen the White House?Copy !req
15. Just the little I saw
when we talked last year.Copy !req
16. Follow me.Copy !req
17. This is the communications bullpen...Copy !req
18. where Toby Ziegler
and Sam Seaborn work.Copy !req
19. The rest of the speechwriting staff...Copy !req
20. works across the alley
in the Old Executive Office Building.Copy !req
21. And here comes
the actual Sam Seaborn.Copy !req
22. What's going on?Copy !req
23. Leo's reading it. We'll send it out
in 10, 15 minutes.Copy !req
24. So Toby's been banging around.Copy !req
25. - What are you doing?
- Banging around.Copy !req
26. This is Dr. Keyworth.Copy !req
27. - Sam Seaborn.
- Nice to meet you.Copy !req
28. - Did you have a good flight?
- Yes.Copy !req
29. - Anybody you know on the plane?
- No.Copy !req
30. - Okay. I'll see you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
31. That's Leo's office.Copy !req
32. It has a private entrance to the
Oval Office, but we'll go in here.Copy !req
33. Driver asked me
the same question.Copy !req
34. - What?
- Did I know anybody on the plane.Copy !req
35. He wanted to know
if you talked to anybody.Copy !req
36. - I didn't.
- I know.Copy !req
37. This is the Oval Office.Copy !req
38. That's the Resolute Desk.Copy !req
39. It was built from timbers of the HMS
Resolute and given to Hayes...Copy !req
40. by Queen Victoria to thank the U.S.
for finding the abandoned ship.Copy !req
41. We're gonna go to the residence,
but I'll take you through the Portico.Copy !req
42. Josh? Wouldn't you like
to sit someplace and talk?Copy !req
43. - Yeah.
- Why the tour?Copy !req
44. - You don't think this is interesting?
- It's fascinating...Copy !req
45. If somebody sees us, I'd like them
to see me giving you a tour.Copy !req
46. Who built the White House?Copy !req
47. It was designed by an Irish architect
named James Hoban...Copy !req
48. who won the job
in an open competition.Copy !req
49. And it was built largely by slaves.Copy !req
50. They found the pay receipts
a few years ago.Copy !req
51. The slaves were paid?Copy !req
52. Their owners.Copy !req
53. Right through here.Copy !req
54. Buchanan was visited
by Edward, Prince of Wales.Copy !req
55. And he decided there wasn't
room for guests.Copy !req
56. But it took another 40 years to move
all the office space out of the residence.Copy !req
57. You're really seeing
something, Stanley.Copy !req
58. Tours don't go to the
second floor of the mansion.Copy !req
59. - You're sure it's okay?
- Yeah.Copy !req
60. We're gonna go in here now.
This is the president's private study.Copy !req
61. - His private study?
- Yeah.Copy !req
62. Okay. Should we close the door?Copy !req
63. No, that's all right.Copy !req
64. So tell me how you've been feeling.Copy !req
65. Good.Copy !req
66. - Stanley.
- Hey, Leo.Copy !req
67. - You getting a tour of the place?
- Yeah.Copy !req
68. You show him the North Portico?Copy !req
69. Leo likes to show people
the soot stains.Copy !req
70. From when the British
torched the place.Copy !req
71. - They haven't repainted?
- Not that.Copy !req
72. When Dolley Madison heard the cannon
fire, she evacuated the building...Copy !req
73. but she already had the table set
for a 40-person dinner.Copy !req
74. So the British soldiers ate
and then set the building on fire.Copy !req
75. - So the food didn't go to waste.
- That's right.Copy !req
76. - How was your flight?
- It was fine.Copy !req
77. Did you know anyone on the plane?Copy !req
78. You didn't bring me here
to talk to Josh, did you?Copy !req
79. - No.
- Who did you bring me here to talk to?Copy !req
80. Dr. Keyworth...Copy !req
81. did you know anyone on the plane?Copy !req
82. No. No, sir, I didn't know
anyone on the plane.Copy !req
83. We'll leave you alone.Copy !req
84. - The speech is going out?
- In a few minutes.Copy !req
85. - I'm Jed Bartlet.
- Stanley Keyworth.Copy !req
86. - I guess we knew that.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
87. - I've been having trouble sleeping.
- I'm sorry?Copy !req
88. You understand that this
is an election year, right?Copy !req
89. I mean, by itself, who cares?Copy !req
90. President has trouble sleeping,
talks to a doctor.Copy !req
91. But with the MS and the hearings,
and you're a psychiatrist... .Copy !req
92. - Yeah.
- Okay.Copy !req
93. - I'm not an expert in sleep disorders.
- Yeah.Copy !req
94. - I'm a trauma specialist.
- Yeah, we know you.Copy !req
95. You helped Josh out last year.Copy !req
96. Josh was shot.Copy !req
97. Me too.Copy !req
98. - Is that why you can't sleep?
- How would I know?Copy !req
99. - That's a fair point.
- Thank you.Copy !req
100. Well, Mr. President...Copy !req
101. tell me the nature
of your sleeping problem.Copy !req
102. - I can't sleep.
- What happens when you try to sleep?Copy !req
103. - I stay awake.
- How long has it been?Copy !req
104. Four nights.Copy !req
105. - You haven't slept in four nights?
- Right.Copy !req
106. - It must be hard.
- Yeah.Copy !req
107. - Have you tried taking a sleeping pill?
- The third night.Copy !req
108. - It didn't work?
- Not till the next morning...Copy !req
109. in the middle
of a national security briefing.Copy !req
110. Well, that's no good.Copy !req
111. Stanley, I think you're
underselling yourself...Copy !req
112. when you say you're not
an expert in sleep disorders...Copy !req
113. because you've been right
straight on the money so far.Copy !req
114. - How many of those you smoke a day?
- Not many.Copy !req
115. Nicotine will keep you up at night.Copy !req
116. - Never has before.
- It could be now.Copy !req
117. You think if I put this out
I'm gonna fall asleep?Copy !req
118. - No.
- Then let's move on.Copy !req
119. All right.Copy !req
120. Let's rule out some things.
Physical factors.Copy !req
121. - Do you have arthritis?
- No.Copy !req
122. - Heartburn?
- No.Copy !req
123. Irregular breathing
or periodic muscle contractions?Copy !req
124. - No.
- All right.Copy !req
125. Lifestyle factors.Copy !req
126. I'm sorry. Before we get to lifestyle
factors, I'm just gonna turn this on.Copy !req
127. It's a closed-circuit thing.
I'm at the U.N. on Monday.Copy !req
128. Leaving Andrews at 8 for the 9:30
address to the General Assembly.Copy !req
129. - When do we see copies?
- When we're done writing it.Copy !req
130. - When do we see copies?
- Sunday night.Copy !req
131. - Has the State Department reviewed it?
- We'll be getting the reviews.Copy !req
132. Also House and Senate
Foreign Relations.Copy !req
133. - And we see it Sunday night?
- Sunday night.Copy !req
134. That's it, everybody. That's a full lid.Copy !req
135. Thank you, C.J.Copy !req
136. C.J.Copy !req
137. - What are you doing here?
- I'm missing a reporter.Copy !req
138. - Who?
- Bill Price.Copy !req
139. - Isn't Billy in the Congo?
- Yeah.Copy !req
140. Come back here.Copy !req
141. He files stories to New York
at a predetermined time.Copy !req
142. Missed two deadlines in a row.Copy !req
143. - Does he miss deadlines?
- No.Copy !req
144. - What does State say?
- I'm having trouble finding people.Copy !req
145. - The other end?
- I've talked to the embassy.Copy !req
146. But this is the Congo.Copy !req
147. - What do you think?
- I think he left the capital.Copy !req
148. - Without written permission?
- How would he know?Copy !req
149. - By reading State background notes.
- Does that sound like Billy?Copy !req
150. - No.
- C.J., the first 15 minutes...Copy !req
151. are critical
in a war zone abduction.Copy !req
152. - If he can be delivered to a higher-up...
- I'll talk to Leo.Copy !req
153. I know Billy's been a pain in the ass,
but he's got a wife and two kids.Copy !req
154. So if you could forget about...Copy !req
155. I don't care that he's been... .Copy !req
156. Look, if he's missed two deadlines,
then his 15 minutes was yesterday.Copy !req
157. - I know.
- I'd call his wife.Copy !req
158. Yeah.Copy !req
159. - Toby. The pacing.
- Yeah.Copy !req
160. Okay, now the standing-still
is bothering me a little bit.Copy !req
161. This is the fifth time you're reading it.
Are there words you don't understand?Copy !req
162. There wouldn't be, because you can't
rise to a position like yours without... .Copy !req
163. Look, this is exactly
what we said we wanted it to be.Copy !req
164. We said we were tired of reading
about his scattershot foreign policy.Copy !req
165. We said,"You wanna
fillet me for this, fine."Copy !req
166. - We said,"When we go to the U. N... ."
- I think it's great.Copy !req
167. - Yeah?
- I do.Copy !req
168. Your wife's gonna have
something to say about it.Copy !req
169. My ex-wife.
Why do you call her my wife?Copy !req
170. - It bothers you.
- Everything does.Copy !req
171. - But you pick that?
- Yeah.Copy !req
172. Toby, the night of the lowa caucus,
when you got back...Copy !req
173. did you and the president
have a conversation that night?Copy !req
174. Yeah.Copy !req
175. l...Copy !req
176. When he got back, for a minute.Copy !req
177. - What did you talk about?
- Nothing.Copy !req
178. - He seemed kind of upset about it.
- It didn't go well.Copy !req
179. - What was it?
- It was personal.Copy !req
180. - It was personal?
- Yeah.Copy !req
181. Well, that always
works well with him.Copy !req
182. What has he said about the speech?Copy !req
183. He thinks it's great.
He hasn't said anything to you?Copy !req
184. We haven't talked in a little while.Copy !req
185. - Toby, what the hell went on in there?
- Don't worry about it.Copy !req
186. Okay. I'm gonna read this again.Copy !req
187. - Sure. Because it's that sixth time.
- Yeah.Copy !req
188. - Did you read it?
- It's great.Copy !req
189. Someone's gonna get
an ass-kicking from the missus.Copy !req
190. It's what we asked for, you know.Copy !req
191. - We're gonna have to get ready for it.
- Yeah.Copy !req
192. - Something else has come up, though.
- What?Copy !req
193. Leonard Wallace just came to me.Copy !req
194. Billy Price is in the Congo,
and he's missed two deadlines.Copy !req
195. He hasn't gotten anywhere.Copy !req
196. Kinshasa confirmed that a Belgian
TV crew shooting outside Goma...Copy !req
197. saw an American captured
by Mai Mai rebels.Copy !req
198. Hasn't State had a travel advisory
out for, like, 10 years?Copy !req
199. Twenty-four.Copy !req
200. What is he doing there?Copy !req
201. Reporting a story no one
is paying attention to.Copy !req
202. - Let's talk to the Congolese attaché.
- He's on his way.Copy !req
203. Okay.Copy !req
204. - He liked it.
- Yeah?Copy !req
205. Mostly what I wrote.
Not so much what you wrote.Copy !req
206. So how long you think before the old
lady comes by to give you a whupping?Copy !req
207. - Her office called already, didn't they?
- You bet, baby.Copy !req
208. You probably wanna rethink
calling me'baby."Copy !req
209. Yeah. Whoa, Nelly.Copy !req
210. Hello.Copy !req
211. You could make a good dog
break his leash.Copy !req
212. I was at a social function.Copy !req
213. Americans for the Preservation
of Family Values and White People?Copy !req
214. - The Federalist Society.
- A hootenanny.Copy !req
215. - I was paged. I was told to come in.
- Yes.Copy !req
216. Thirty-two fifty is a consolidated
appropriations act...Copy !req
217. that we wanna drop
in the U.N. speech for Monday.Copy !req
218. I need you to review
the legislative language...Copy !req
219. so we can shop it around the Hill.Copy !req
220. - What does it call for?
- I don't know.Copy !req
221. - Sam.
- It authorizes payment of 926 million...Copy !req
222. in U.N. dues in exchange
for a reduction in U.N. bureaucracy...Copy !req
223. as well as peacekeeping
assessments.Copy !req
224. - What are we concerned about?
- The language is drafted by Republicans.Copy !req
225. - We're inscrutable.
- Look for legal land mines.Copy !req
226. - Like what?
- A ban on German food...Copy !req
227. or amendment saying
the French are annoying.Copy !req
228. How about we drop out
of the U.N. entirely...Copy !req
229. and use the 926 million to take
everybody in the country out to brunch?Copy !req
230. - Write that suggestion in the margin.
- I'll be in my office.Copy !req
231. I didn't even see that thing
from the back.Copy !req
232. Well, that takes care
of lifestyle factors.Copy !req
233. What about environmental factors?Copy !req
234. - Like what?
- Too much light in the room.Copy !req
235. No.Copy !req
236. - Extremes in room temperature.
- No.Copy !req
237. - Noise.
- Noise?Copy !req
238. Planes flying overhead,
that kind of thing.Copy !req
239. Planes aren't allowed
to fly over the White House.Copy !req
240. - You haven't slept in four nights.
- Right.Copy !req
241. - How much sleep do you usually get?
- Four or five hours.Copy !req
242. Well, we've been through
physical factors...Copy !req
243. lifestyle factors
and environmental factors.Copy !req
244. - That leaves us with...
- Psychological factors.Copy !req
245. Yes, sir.Copy !req
246. What were the odds?Copy !req
247. Right.Copy !req
248. - So you got a few minutes?
- Just a few minutes.Copy !req
249. What's going on?Copy !req
250. We're at the U.N. on Monday
giving a new foreign-policy speech...Copy !req
251. that's gonna stir some things up.Copy !req
252. But the thing is, it was a relatively
small circle of people...Copy !req
253. who were consulted on the speech,
and that circle got wider tonight.Copy !req
254. So it'll be a weekend of bartering.Copy !req
255. And Josh is usually one
of the point men on that so...Copy !req
256. - You need to get back to the office.
- I have a few minutes.Copy !req
257. - How have you been?
- Great.Copy !req
258. - You guys survived?
- Dot-come didn't run out of steam.Copy !req
259. - They didn't?
- It's just hype.Copy !req
260. - I see.
- Do you?Copy !req
261. No.Copy !req
262. - It's easier to start up now.
- Why?Copy !req
263. There's less pressure
to be a success overnight.Copy !req
264. Which brings us to this.Copy !req
265. "Capitalscoop. Com."Copy !req
266. It'll track legislation, profile people
in power, spotlight special interest.Copy !req
267. - Gossip.
- Not gossip. Hard substance.Copy !req
268. Public policy. That's why we need
all the help we can get.Copy !req
269. I doubt I can get Josh involved.
It'd be a conflict.Copy !req
270. No, I don't want Josh. I want you.Copy !req
271. - I'm sorry?
- I want you.Copy !req
272. I don't know where I'd find the time...Copy !req
273. It's Friday at 11.
I'm basically on a lunch break right now.Copy !req
274. You don't understand.
I'm talking about full-time.Copy !req
275. Issues director for Capitalscoop. Com.Copy !req
276. Well, l...Copy !req
277. I'm surprised, and I'm flattered.Copy !req
278. But I'm, you know,
not at all qualified.Copy !req
279. That's not true.
You've been Josh Lyman's traffic cop.Copy !req
280. That's like an M.A.
in power-brokering.Copy !req
281. You know the Hill. You know
every corner of the White House.Copy !req
282. You know every pressure point
10 miles from the Potomac.Copy !req
283. - Is this your operating budget?
- It's your starting salary.Copy !req
284. - Ginger?
- She's not here.Copy !req
285. - Is Bonnie here?
- They went to get something to eat.Copy !req
286. - Have we met?
- No.Copy !req
287. - I'm Celia Walton.
- Sam Seaborn.Copy !req
288. - You were sent over for the week.
- Yeah.Copy !req
289. - We appreciate your helping out.
- I go where I'm told.Copy !req
290. - Do you mind if I say something to you?
- No.Copy !req
291. The way you talked
to that woman before.Copy !req
292. - What woman?
- I don't know her name.Copy !req
293. The dog on a leash.Copy !req
294. That was Ainsley Hayes.
She's an associate counsel.Copy !req
295. Yeah. It was rude. It was inappropriate,
and it was offensive.Copy !req
296. - What did I do?
- You demeaned her.Copy !req
297. No, we're friends.
It's a completely mature... . You know.Copy !req
298. - Also, she started it.
- Whatever.Copy !req
299. Well... .Copy !req
300. Okay.Copy !req
301. I wasn't demeaning her.
I was complimenting her.Copy !req
302. A White House counsel, and you're
complimenting her on her sexuality?Copy !req
303. - She looked good in the dress, I thought.
- Okay.Copy !req
304. - Where is he?
- Congresswoman.Copy !req
305. - Where is he, Sam?
- Toby?Copy !req
306. - Yes.
- I do not know.Copy !req
307. - Liar.
- Here to talk about the speech?Copy !req
308. I and the House International
Relations Committee, yes.Copy !req
309. Your fingerprints are all over this too.Copy !req
310. You and Toby wanna be responsible
for starting World War III?Copy !req
311. - Well, you're gonna.
- I was having a good night.Copy !req
312. - Where is he?
- I don't know.Copy !req
313. - You said that already.
- You asked me again. I still didn't know.Copy !req
314. May I wait in his office?Copy !req
315. Better his than mine.Copy !req
316. - What were we talking about?
- I'm a temporary hand here for a week...Copy !req
317. but I don't think it's a joke.Copy !req
318. Ginger and Bonnie
are getting something to eat.Copy !req
319. Yeah.Copy !req
320. I need these distributed.Copy !req
321. Andy's in your office.Copy !req
322. - You let her in my office?
- Yeah.Copy !req
323. What the hell did you
let her in my office for?Copy !req
324. Okay. Well, I'm gonna step out for a
minute and not be in this area anymore.Copy !req
325. How could you do this
without consulting people?Copy !req
326. Come on in.
We consulted plenty of people.Copy !req
327. You think Sam and I
create foreign policy?Copy !req
328. I don't know.
You, Sam, Abbott, Costello!Copy !req
329. We brought in for three weeks.Copy !req
330. You bring in anybody
from State? Who?Copy !req
331. Secretary of State.
How can you come here?Copy !req
332. I'm third on the damn committee.Copy !req
333. - It's a presidential address, not a camel.
- A what?Copy !req
334. A camel! A horse built by committee.Copy !req
335. "Freedom must run deeper
than the free flow of capital.Copy !req
336. Freedom must mean more than
the free trade of goods and services.Copy !req
337. - The world..."
- I read it.Copy !req
338. "The world will be free when we have
freedom of speech for every nation."Copy !req
339. In fact, I wrote it.Copy !req
340. "... when there is freedom to worship.Copy !req
341. The world will be free when we finally
shake off the rusted chains of tyranny...Copy !req
342. whether in the guise of fascist
dictatorship or ethnic hostility..."Copy !req
343. - A little nervous?
- Wait for it.Copy !req
344. "The crushing yoke
of Islamic fanaticism."Copy !req
345. Gentlemen, start your engines.Copy !req
346. Billy's wife is already here.
She's in my office now.Copy !req
347. - Is she very upset?
- She's... .Copy !req
348. - Send them in.
- She's with Leonard.Copy !req
349. Come in.Copy !req
350. Everybody, this is McKennen Loboko,
the Congolese attaché.Copy !req
351. - McKonnen.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
352. Mr. Loboko, you know our situation?Copy !req
353. We've got a reporter who we believe
was taken by the Mai Mais.Copy !req
354. He shouldn't have traveled
without documentation.Copy !req
355. The Mai Mais care about
documentation, do they?Copy !req
356. - I beg your pardon.
- He wouldn't have been abducted?Copy !req
357. We haven't been introduced.Copy !req
358. C.J. Cregg,
White House press secretary.Copy !req
359. He sat in my room for a year,
his wife's in my office...Copy !req
360. his kids are at home,
and I want him back.Copy !req
361. You think I have him in my briefcase?Copy !req
362. This is a shakedown, so tell us how
much money and where does it go.Copy !req
363. The Congolese government
doesn't negotiate with murderers.Copy !req
364. The Congolese government is a myth.Copy !req
365. I can't talk to this woman.Copy !req
366. Mr. Loboko, how much money
and where does it go?Copy !req
367. - Where have you been?
- I told you I was going out.Copy !req
368. - For an hour?
- Well, yeah.Copy !req
369. There's an editorial on sugar subsidies
in the International Herald Tribune.Copy !req
370. Make sure that Leo gets a copy.Copy !req
371. Also, make sure you send me home
with a congressional face book.Copy !req
372. - Why?
- I'm still mixing up Cooper and Hooper.Copy !req
373. - Why?
- Cooper sounds a lot like Hooper.Copy !req
374. - What does it matter?
- I got offered a job tonight.Copy !req
375. What do you mean?Copy !req
376. - You know Casey Reed?
- No.Copy !req
377. - We went to college together.
- That's where you were?Copy !req
378. - Yeah.
- At a job interview?Copy !req
379. It wasn't a job interview.
We were meeting for a drink.Copy !req
380. - What's the job?
- He has an Internet start-up.Copy !req
381. - What kind of site?
- Commentary.Copy !req
382. He asked me to be issues director.Copy !req
383. - Issues director?
- Yeah.Copy !req
384. - For an Internet start-up.
- Dot-come aren't dying, just the hype.Copy !req
385. - Really?
- Yeah.Copy !req
386. Sounds like the hype's
alive and well too.Copy !req
387. I suppose.Copy !req
388. - You suppose?
- Yeah.Copy !req
389. You can't take a job that may
not be around a year from now.Copy !req
390. This job may not be around
a year from now.Copy !req
391. - He offered you money?
- Yeah.Copy !req
392. - Well, all I can offer you is a title bump.
- Like what?Copy !req
393. Senior assistant to the deputy chief
of staff for strategic planning.Copy !req
394. - That's my title now.
- Then I can't offer you a title bump.Copy !req
395. The sugar subsidy editorial
and the face book, okay?Copy !req
396. Cooper and Hooper.Copy !req
397. What do you need?Copy !req
398. There's a thing in this
we need to be careful of.Copy !req
399. What?Copy !req
400. They'll approve a new scale
of peacekeeping assessments...Copy !req
401. if there's a cost-sharing mechanism,
but it isn't fully addressed here.Copy !req
402. I should rewrite some of this language
before the president goes to the U.N.Copy !req
403. - What?
- Let me ask you something.Copy !req
404. When I said that you were enough
to make a good dog break his leash...Copy !req
405. you understand that men,
we're the dog, right?Copy !req
406. I was the dog.Copy !req
407. - I understood the metaphor.
- Okay.Copy !req
408. The peacekeeping assessment
is based on per capita income...Copy !req
409. with category J countries
paying at a 90 percent discount.Copy !req
410. - I meant it to make you feel good.
- It did.Copy !req
411. - I certainly meant it.
- I appreciate it.Copy !req
412. - I didn't mean to demean you.
- I need you to listen.Copy !req
413. Category A countries
will be overpaying...Copy !req
414. to cover the discounts
for category J states.Copy !req
415. So we need to be more specific about
category A. It's gonna be important.Copy !req
416. - I was told that I demeaned you.
- You didn't.Copy !req
417. - I was told I did.
- By whom?Copy !req
418. - Someone named Celia.
- She was mistaken.Copy !req
419. - You sure?
- If I felt demeaned...Copy !req
420. I'd be among the first to know it.
- Terrific.Copy !req
421. - Here are my notes.
- I'll rewrite them.Copy !req
422. - You'll stick around?
- What else would I do on a Friday night?Copy !req
423. I don't like to pry.Copy !req
424. America doesn't have a monopoly
on what's right.Copy !req
425. Even if we did, I think you'll have
a tough time convincing the Arab world.Copy !req
426. Well, we'd like to talk to them about it.Copy !req
427. - That ought to do the trick.
- It's worth a shot.Copy !req
428. The U.S. Constitution
defends religious pluralism.Copy !req
429. It doesn't reduce all
of Islam to fanaticism.Copy !req
430. Neither does the speech.
It calls fanaticism, fanaticism.Copy !req
431. It's fanaticism whether we call it that
or not, so we're gonna call it that.Copy !req
432. - We respect all religions, cultures.
- To a point.Copy !req
433. Yes, to a point.Copy !req
434. Grotesque oppression isn't okay
just because it's been institutionalized.Copy !req
435. If you ask me, we should've gotten
into the game three, four decades ago...Copy !req
436. but they're coming for us now.
So it's time to saddle up!Copy !req
437. - Toby.
- We do know what's right.Copy !req
438. This is why they hate us.Copy !req
439. There's a lot of reasons.Copy !req
440. You know when they're gonna like us?
When we win.Copy !req
441. - C.J.
- Please tell me what's happening.Copy !req
442. Janet, we're working
some back channels now.Copy !req
443. Make yourself comfortable.
We might have some news in an hour.Copy !req
444. The government will pay money?Copy !req
445. We can't buy them off directly. We offer
to withhold money from their enemies.Copy !req
446. And if that doesn't work?Copy !req
447. Your husband is employed
by a billion-dollar corporation.Copy !req
448. Janet, Mrs. Carlson
would pay whatever.Copy !req
449. - Ransom?
- Yeah.Copy !req
450. Let's not get that far right now.
Your clothes are wet.Copy !req
451. - Can I get you something to wear?
- No. No, I'm fine.Copy !req
452. Okay.Copy !req
453. - I should stay here?
- Yeah.Copy !req
454. Insomnia is a pretty common
symptom of depression.Copy !req
455. - Are you depressed?
- No.Copy !req
456. I didn't think so.Copy !req
457. Some people are predisposed
to insomnia in times of acute stress.Copy !req
458. Are you under any stress?Copy !req
459. Is there any stress
in your job at all, or...?Copy !req
460. But seriously, folks, has there been
an unusual amount of stress lately?Copy !req
461. - Well, Congress was investigating me.
- Yeah.Copy !req
462. And I was censured.Copy !req
463. - I had to give the State of the Union.
- Yeah.Copy !req
464. I'm running for re-election.
Things are blowing up everywhere.Copy !req
465. And I've chosen
the General Assembly of the U. N...Copy !req
466. to define a tougher foreign policy.Copy !req
467. Not unusually stressful, no.Copy !req
468. I don't like the word'stress."
It's a Madison Avenue word.Copy !req
469. It's something that can be cured
with flavored coffee and bath bubbles.Copy !req
470. So you don't feel stress.Copy !req
471. I have a job I like,
and my family's healthy.Copy !req
472. Doesn't mean you're
not entitled to feel stress.Copy !req
473. Stress is for other people.Copy !req
474. - What other people?
- I'm saying it's not stress.Copy !req
475. I was feeling stress five nights ago too,
and I slept fine.Copy !req
476. - So, what happened four nights ago?
- I want my money back.Copy !req
477. This is a very unusual conversation.Copy !req
478. - I get that a lot.
- I'd imagine.Copy !req
479. - So, what do you charge?
- $375 an hour.Copy !req
480. For $375 an hour, you ought
to bring your own damn lingerie.Copy !req
481. I do.Copy !req
482. There's a great story
about Arthur Miller.Copy !req
483. Death of a Salesman had
just opened the night before.Copy !req
484. He was walking around his
old neighborhood in Brooklyn.Copy !req
485. He sees a hot-dog vendor that he went
to high school with, and he says:Copy !req
486. "Hey, Jimmy, it's me, Arthur Miller."Copy !req
487. The hot-dog vendor says,
"How you doing? What you been up to?"Copy !req
488. And Miller says,"I'm...
You know, I'm a playwright."Copy !req
489. The hot-dog vendor says,
"Playwriting, I should've gone into that."Copy !req
490. $375 an hour.Copy !req
491. - Yes, sir.
- For what?Copy !req
492. I don't really know.Copy !req
493. I can't sleep.Copy !req
494. I can't sleep.Copy !req
495. I'll be tired, and I'll lie there.
And it doesn't happen.Copy !req
496. What happened four nights ago?Copy !req
497. I won the lowa caucus.Copy !req
498. - Anything else?
- That's not enough?Copy !req
499. Mr. President,
if you were any other patient...Copy !req
500. Say what you'd say
to any other patient.Copy !req
501. I'd say screw around if you want...Copy !req
502. but it's your money.
It's about to be my money...Copy !req
503. and I sleep fine.Copy !req
504. I had a conversation
with one of my aides...Copy !req
505. after we got back from lowa.Copy !req
506. He called me on something.Copy !req
507. What?Copy !req
508. Well, I guess we talked
about a lot of things.Copy !req
509. Who we think the Republican
challenger is gonna be...Copy !req
510. and incumbency
and campaign strategy.Copy !req
511. Strategic overview,
but the long and short of it is...Copy !req
512. my father never liked me at all.Copy !req
513. Well, at least we're closer
to my area now.Copy !req
514. Yeah, I thought you'd enjoy that.Copy !req
515. - Charlie?
- Yeah.Copy !req
516. - Are you in pain?
- No.Copy !req
517. - Charlie?
- Yes?Copy !req
518. - Have you been playing basketball?
- Yes.Copy !req
519. - Did you get beat?
- No.Copy !req
520. - Charlie. Who'd you play?
- Doesn't matter.Copy !req
521. - Ed?
- No.Copy !req
522. - Larry?
- No.Copy !req
523. - Jack?
- No.Copy !req
524. - Did you get beat by Manny?
- No.Copy !req
525. - Who?
- Deanna.Copy !req
526. - Your sister?
- Yes.Copy !req
527. Your little sister.Copy !req
528. - She plays varsity, Sam.
- Girls' varsity.Copy !req
529. - She played a finesse game.
- Man, you can't walk.Copy !req
530. Yeah. I don't know what's
happening to my life.Copy !req
531. I can tell you're down,
but let's talk about me.Copy !req
532. If your sister was getting ready
for a night out, and I said:Copy !req
533. "You're enough to make
a good dog break his leash"...Copy !req
534. would you think I was a cad?
- I'd think hick.Copy !req
535. - Because of the sentiment or expression?
- My sister?Copy !req
536. - I'd beat you.
- You and how many Girl Scouts?Copy !req
537. - If I could stand up...
- If it wasn't your sister.Copy !req
538. - Then you're fine.
- I'm fine.Copy !req
539. You're not. This isn't quite right.Copy !req
540. It needs to be clear that the total
assessment is down to 25 percent...Copy !req
541. for category A.
- We've been in this fight.Copy !req
542. - But if we pay before...
- Hang on. Here she is.Copy !req
543. Celia, I asked Ainsley,
and she said she didn't mind at all.Copy !req
544. - Plus, Charlie said he's fine with it.
- He's a man.Copy !req
545. - Damn right.
- Sam.Copy !req
546. We won't take a bath when other
countries can afford to take on more.Copy !req
547. This is important.Copy !req
548. - It's important that I'm not a sexist.
- And that I'm all man.Copy !req
549. You're Celia? He's not a sexist.Copy !req
550. If you're willing to let sexuality
diminish your power.Copy !req
551. - I'm sorry?
- I'm surprised...Copy !req
552. you'd let it diminish your power.
- I don't know what that means.Copy !req
553. - I think you do.
- You think I'm made out of candy glass.Copy !req
554. If somebody offends you, tell them.
But all women don't have to think alike.Copy !req
555. I didn't say they did. And when
someone offended me, I did say so.Copy !req
556. I like it when the guys tease me.
It's a show of respect I'm on the team.Copy !req
557. I don't mind it when it gets sexual.
And you know what? I like sex.Copy !req
558. I don't think whatever sexuality
I may have diminishes my power.Copy !req
559. I think it enhances it.Copy !req
560. - What kind of feminism do you call that?
- My kind.Copy !req
561. It's called lipstick feminism.Copy !req
562. - I call it stiletto feminism.
- Stilettos?Copy !req
563. - Not in enough trouble already?
- I am.Copy !req
564. Isn't the point that Sam wouldn't
have found a way to be chummy...Copy !req
565. with a woman
who wasn't appealing?Copy !req
566. He'd be able to,
but that isn't the point.Copy !req
567. The point is that sexual revolution tends
to get in the way of actual revolution.Copy !req
568. Nonsense issues distract attention away
from real ones.Copy !req
569. Pay equity, child care,
honest-to-God sexual harassment...Copy !req
570. and in this case, a speech
in front of the U.N. General Assembly.Copy !req
571. So you, 25 percent on the assessments
for category A.Copy !req
572. You, I don't know what your thing is.
And you...Copy !req
573. stop trying to take the fun
out of my day.Copy !req
574. With that, I'm going to get a cupcake.Copy !req
575. For the moment, I'll do
what she's telling me to do.Copy !req
576. - We're at OEOB.
- Okay.Copy !req
577. How you doing?Copy !req
578. There.Copy !req
579. It's not the best in the world,
but it's hot.Copy !req
580. I'm sorry, I didn't ask you
your name before.Copy !req
581. Donna.Copy !req
582. - Really?
- Yeah.Copy !req
583. Our daughter is Donna.Copy !req
584. - How old is she?
- She's 7 months.Copy !req
585. And her brother Harry is 3.Copy !req
586. Three and a quarter,
he'd want me to say that.Copy !req
587. Do you know how it works
with the money?Copy !req
588. - I don't. I'm an assistant here.
- Bill's written...Copy !req
589. He's written negative things
about the president...Copy !req
590. - No.
- He and C. J... .Copy !req
591. Nobody cares about that tonight.Copy !req
592. Okay.Copy !req
593. And you wanna know a secret
about C.J.?Copy !req
594. But you can't tell
your husband this, really.Copy !req
595. She battles with them every day,
but loves reporters.Copy !req
596. She's very protective of them, and
it doesn't matter whether... You know.Copy !req
597. - It took...
- Wait.Copy !req
598. It took three days to get the language
through NSC and the NSA.Copy !req
599. - It isn't coming out of the speech.
- I didn't think so.Copy !req
600. - Why are we here for an hour?
- Members have drafted an insert.Copy !req
601. Will you look at it?Copy !req
602. Sure.Copy !req
603. This would follow your paragraph.Copy !req
604. "Our goal is neither to preach
nor proclaim American values.Copy !req
605. We respect
our Islamic brothers and sisters.Copy !req
606. We have a great deal to learn
from the values...Copy !req
607. of tolerance and faith that are deeply
held throughout the Islamic world."Copy !req
608. You're saying any resemblance
the previous paragraph...Copy !req
609. may have had to foreign policy
is purely coincidental?Copy !req
610. - That's right.
- Guess what?Copy !req
611. - What?
- Our goal is to proclaim American values.Copy !req
612. The speech isn't supposed to be
about ideology but about reality.Copy !req
613. The president will decide
what the speech is about...Copy !req
614. but the reality is the U.S.A.
no longer sucks up to reactionaries...Copy !req
615. and our staunch allies
will know what we mean.Copy !req
616. We don't have staunch allies
in the Arab world, just reluctant ones.Copy !req
617. We have a coalition held together
with duct tape.Copy !req
618. A coalition without which
we cannot fight.Copy !req
619. Nobody's blowing off the coalition.
It'll be strong.Copy !req
620. - When we win?
- That's right.Copy !req
621. What's Egypt gonna think?
Or Pakistan?Copy !req
622. Freedom and democracy are coming soon
to a theater near them.Copy !req
623. So get dressed.Copy !req
624. Toby...Copy !req
625. you guys are on a thing right now,
and I'm behind you.Copy !req
626. You know I'm behind you.
A lot of House Democrats are...Copy !req
627. - Not enough.
- And plenty of Republicans...Copy !req
628. but this one moment in time,
you have to get off your horse and... .Copy !req
629. Simply put, be nice to the Arab world.Copy !req
630. - Be nice?
- Yes.Copy !req
631. Well...Copy !req
632. how about...Copy !req
633. when we, instead of blowing Iraq
back to the 7th century...Copy !req
634. for harboring terrorists and trying
to develop nuclear weapons...Copy !req
635. we just imposed economic sanctions,
and were reviled by the Arab world...Copy !req
636. for not giving them a global
charge card and a free-trade treaty?Copy !req
637. How about when we pushed Israel
to give up land for peace?Copy !req
638. How about when we sent American
soldiers to protect Saudi Arabia...Copy !req
639. and the Arab world told us
we were desecrating their Holy Land...Copy !req
640. we'll ignore the fact
that we were invited?Copy !req
641. How about in the State of the Union?Copy !req
642. The president praised Islamic people
as faithful and hardworking...Copy !req
643. to be denounced in the Arab press
as knowing nothing about Islam.Copy !req
644. - None of that is the point.
- What is?Copy !req
645. I don't remember explaining
to Italians...Copy !req
646. our problem wasn't with them
but with Mussolini.Copy !req
647. Why does the U.S. have to take every
Arab country out for an ice-cream cone?Copy !req
648. They'll like us when we win!Copy !req
649. Thousands of Madrases teaching children
nothing, nothing, nothing...Copy !req
650. but the Koran and to hate America.
Who do we see about that?Copy !req
651. Do I wanna preach America?
Judeo-Christianity? No.Copy !req
652. If their religion forbids them
from playing the trumpet, so be it.Copy !req
653. But I want those kids
to look at a globe.Copy !req
654. Be exposed to social sciences,
history...Copy !req
655. some literature.Copy !req
656. They'll like us when we win.Copy !req
657. Okay.Copy !req
658. Let me take another look
at the softer language.Copy !req
659. - How's she doing?
- She was asking how the money works.Copy !req
660. It's not money. Actually, it's a promise
to honor international sanctions...Copy !req
661. against the export of something called
"coltan" by the Rwandan army.Copy !req
662. - What's coltan?
- A mineral they have in the Congo.Copy !req
663. Refined, it's a necessary component
of cell phones and pagers.Copy !req
664. And the Rwandans and Ugandans
smuggle it illegally.Copy !req
665. - Listen.
- What do you know?Copy !req
666. Akin Wamba, who's
the Mai Mai rebel commander...Copy !req
667. sent word through a crew
that was filming in Goma.Copy !req
668. - Oh, God.
- Yeah.Copy !req
669. He was killed in an ambush.Copy !req
670. Embassy Kinshasa's gonna get the body.Copy !req
671. It can't be easy being you.Copy !req
672. - I told you...
- I don't mean the job. I meant...Copy !req
673. you know, being inside your head.Copy !req
674. What's wrong with my head?Copy !req
675. - I don't know.
- Of course not.Copy !req
676. That would be $385 an hour.Copy !req
677. They keep moving the goal posts
on you, don't they?Copy !req
678. Get A's, good college, Latin honors...Copy !req
679. get into the London School
of Economics...Copy !req
680. get a good teaching job,
lvy League school, tenure.Copy !req
681. Now you got to publish.
Now you gotta go to Stockholm.Copy !req
682. It's not good for a person
to keep setting goals?Copy !req
683. It probably is,
but it's tricky for somebody...Copy !req
684. who's still trying to get his father
to stop hitting him.Copy !req
685. Well, I'm told that most men
lead lives of quiet desperation.Copy !req
686. Yeah, but that's most men.
That's not you.Copy !req
687. That's the other people,
the ones who feel stress.Copy !req
688. - You're destined for something else.
- I have abilities.Copy !req
689. And now you have an opportunity
to use them.Copy !req
690. I think I have.Copy !req
691. That room I passed down the hall
on the left, it's got a name, right?Copy !req
692. I think you're talking about
the Lincoln Bedroom.Copy !req
693. This is a hell of a curve
you get graded on now.Copy !req
694. Lincoln freed the slaves and won
the Civil War."Thank you. Next.Copy !req
695. And what will you be singing for us
today, Mr. Bartlet?"Copy !req
696. "Well, we've had six straight quarters
of economic growth."Copy !req
697. That's not easy.Copy !req
698. - Okay.
- It's not easy.Copy !req
699. - I believe you.
- I think I've made tough choices.Copy !req
700. I think Lincoln...Copy !req
701. did what he thought was right even
though it meant losing half the country.Copy !req
702. I think you don't do
what you think is right...Copy !req
703. if it means losing
Michigan's electoral votes.Copy !req
704. You don't know anything.Copy !req
705. I'll be the first to admit that.Copy !req
706. I'm not trying to get my father
to like me.Copy !req
707. Good, because it's never,
never gonna happen.Copy !req
708. - Look...
- We're done for the night.Copy !req
709. - What?
- We've been here for two hours.Copy !req
710. It was a double session.
We're done for the night.Copy !req
711. Stanley, I hate to put it this way,
but I'm me and you're you...Copy !req
712. and we're done
when I say we're done.Copy !req
713. No.Copy !req
714. I think you could use some assistance
right now, sir.Copy !req
715. Use me, don't use me,
but all I can offer you is this:Copy !req
716. I'll be the only person in the world
other than your family...Copy !req
717. who doesn't care
that you're the president.Copy !req
718. Our time is up.Copy !req
